Here’s a guide how you can create a vibrant community around a game using Gameram’s Tribes group chats. Let’s break it down step by step:

​

1. Define the purpose of your community.
Ask yourself: Why do I want to create this community? Why would people join, and what will they discuss? Clearly define the focus, whether it’s for sharing game strategies, forming teams, or just connecting with fellow players.

​

2. Invite at least 20 people personally.
Send direct messages to at least 20 people (and better yet, set a daily goal for inviting more). Briefly explain your idea and why they might enjoy being part of the community.

​

3. Share daily content or questions for discussion.
Keep the conversation going by posting engaging topics related to the game:

• Favorite characters.

• What team composition you’re using.

• Who you’re pulling in the current event.

• Your progress in the main storyline.

• Favorite quests.

• Screenshots of teams or achievements.

• Pros and cons of specific heroes.

• Recommendations for guides on team building.

​

4. Discuss community guidelines and moderation.
Talk with your members about how they prefer to communicate, whether you need community rules, and if moderation would help maintain a comfortable environment. You can pin a message with rules and important things in the Tribe.

​

5. Organize daily/weekly group activities.
Schedule group runs, challenges, or activities that encourage interaction and teamwork among community members.

​

6. Host weekly discussions beyond gaming.
Create space for casual chats about life, family, school, or work. Share fun “get to know each other” questions to help people connect.

​

7. Plan a monthly event or challenge.
Host a creative or competitive challenge for everyone in the community, such as a themed contest or in-game achievement race.
Organize Zoom calls or Discord voice chats to hang out and talk in real-time and play together.

​

8. Track your most active members.
Keep a list of your most engaged community members. Reach out to them periodically for feedback and ideas. Consider asking them to help moderate and maintain order in the group.

​

9. Promote your community.
Share posts about your Tribe in your personal updates and Playing statuses every few days to attract more members. But please remember that too many invites can be classified as spam.

​

10. Gather feedback and plan activities.
Ask members what they want from the community and what they’d enjoy doing together. Collect information about when they play and use that to organize a shared calendar or schedule.

​

11. Encourage friend exchanges.
Prompt members to share their in-game IDs to add each other as friends.

​

11. Host a contest.
Organize a competition for creating an avatar or logo for the community or for example for the best description for your community. You can make such creative contests from time to time. It's not necessary to provide super prizes, for your community members there will be a pleasure to become a part of Tribe's history!

​

Key Tips for Success:

• Be consistent.
  In the early stages, you’ll need to actively drive conversations and create regular content to engage members.

• Foster connections between members.
  Introduce people to each other and give them space to form their own bonds. This is essential for the long-term health of the community.

• Organize group activities.
  Plan collaborative events and try different formats, this keeps the group dynamic and engaging.

 

By following these steps, you’ll build a thriving Tribe where gamers feel welcome, connected, and excited to participate!
